thanks @kenolio, @pereiraagb, @Obyt14 and @Uzio for your suggestions 🍻

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday's fix included all the submitted Italian female team name changes. I know there is Como, Napoli, Moncalieri and Ternana whose short name includes Women. Can you two tell me whether it should be removed in some or in all of them please?

 

 

 

 

All seems fine here 😕 Have you tried restarting Steam and starting a new career to see if that works?

 

 

 

 

 

This is an issue with the strings for the Italian competition changes not being included in this fix for the Champions League and Europa League, but only for the Conference League. A save game-compatible fix for this will be included with the next release 🙂

 

 

 

 

Not that I'm aware of, yet.

 

 

 

 

As per the installation instructions:

 

You have to click “show packaged contents” on the fm.app and game_plugin.bundle folders. This basically means that you need to right-click (or Control + click) on fm.app (or game_plugin.bundle) and choose Show Package Contents that lets you open up the folders inside the app icon.

 

Here’s how to do it on Mac:
1. Open Finder.
2. Press Command + Shift + G to bring up “Go to Folder.”
3. Copy and paste this path, then hit Enter:

 

~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/PlugIns/game_plugin.bundle/Contents/Resources/shared/data/database/db/2600

 

Once you’re in that db/2600 folder, that’s where you drop the real name fix files and don’t forget to restart FM afterwards so the changes take effect.

 

 

 

The fix works, so it'll be an issue your end. Can you provide a screenshot of your editor data folder, displaying clearly the full path?

 

 

 

 

Yes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As per point 1 of the FAQ:

 

1. Club name changes were working fine in the beta but now I've downloaded the new version of the fix, they don't work anymore. What's happened?

Reason: When club name changes are done via lnc files, this removes the clubs' nickname, which is not the case if editor data files are used, which is why the latter are preferred. Since editor data files didn't work with the FM24 beta, club name changes were done via lnc files during the beta version. Once the full game was released, club name changes were switched back to the intended delivery method, i.e. via editor data files.

Solution: Use this workaround to solve the issue in your existing save game.

 

If this is for a completely new career, the fix works, so it'll be an issue your end. Can you provide a screenshot of your editor data folder, displaying clearly the full path?

 

 

 

 

This is an English-language forum, please post in English.

 

i've just restarted steam, fm, when starting fm it told me i had to delete and reinstall. done all that, still hasn't loaded the names in. i rewlly don't get what i am doing wrong especially as no one else has the same problem 😂

What doc have you edited?

 

 

 

Can we have a screenshot of your editor data folder? Showing clearly the full path.
